32. Stacey Lannert shot and killed her abusive father

On July 4th, 1990, 18-year-old Stacey Lannert shot and killed her father, who had been sexually abusing her since she was eight. She was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentence to life without parole: Missouri state law, a disbelieving prosecutor and Stacey's own vulnerable state-of-mind all conspired against her. This harrowing real-life story of survival takes many twists and turns and is as dramatic as any movie. It is devastating, important subject matter and exquisitely told by a brave woman committed to justice for herself and all of man-kind.Episode benefitting:Center for Women in Transition cwitstl.orgChamp Assistance Dogs champdogs.orgSt. Louis Foodbank stlfoodbank.orgFollow us on social media!Twitter: @allthewiserpodInstagram: @allthewiserpodcastFacebook: @allthewiserpodcastSign up for our newsletter via our websiteHave a story to share with us or feedback about an episode you heard?
